I am advised by Revenue that in accordance with the legislation governing the operation of the Help to Buy (HTB) scheme, one of the criteria to be met to qualify for the scheme is that the loan-to-value ratio in respect of a claim shall not be less than 70 per cent. As the loan to value ratio for the person concerned is less than 70 per cent, the application does not meet the conditions required to qualify for HTB. Revenue has no discretion to vary the terms of the scheme in this regard.
